The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Systematic Theology: Audio Lectures includes high-quality live recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.
The Christian church has a long tradition of systematic theology, that is, studying theology and doctrine organized around categories such as the word of God, redemption, and Jesus Christ. Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology: Audio Lectures provides an accessible introduction to biblical doctrine.
These lectures feature:
A strong emphasis on the scriptural basis for each doctrine Clear teaching, with technical terms kept to a minimum A contemporary approach, treating subjects of special interest to the church today A friendly tone, appealing to the emotions and the spirit as well as the intellect Frequent application to life Systematic Theology: Audio Lectures feature the author's expert teaching through every chapter in the textbook and are an ideal resource for traditional students, students in distance and online-learning courses, and self-learners wanting to better understand Christian theology.

At first I was disappointed that this is not an audio version of the entire book. This is Wayne Gruden talking about each chapter and highlighting or commenting on and summarizing the main points.
However, I found his self-effacing demeanor pleasant, and he seems like a humble guy which won me over to his reliability as an open minded and generous academic.
